To me Pascal is training to close the ring of from Dawson and try be the aggressor. Something that Dawson does very well.
Glen tried fight in the inside but was to slow, Pascal is much faster prob matching Dawson with hand and foot speed.
Dont see it being an inside fight though..
this is a great fight, like they said talking in the background its exactly what boxing needs. props to chad for being willing to go to pascals backyard to make it happen, and props to pascal for not just sitting on his title but being willing to step up and put it on the line against the best.
dawson is the overall better fighter, but anything can happen in boxing. pascal is a talented guy who seems to improve alot each fight, plus hes very tough and determined. this is his biggest fight so far and its in his hometown, hes gonna be real hungry so i wouldnt rule him out to pull of the upset. dawson has to be favored over any 175lber though.

i think the issue is him bringing his family to his training sessions, atleast that was the problem mayweather sr. had with him
Really? I knew Sr. was a control freak, but damn... Not allowing someone's family at training sessions is excessive (unless he didn't/couldn't focus).
His loss... Dawson keeps going to bigger and better things with or without him.
What in gods name is that anime in your avi.?

As you can see in the video, he's not with Mayweeather Sr. and I think he hasn't been since the Adamek fight. He gets trained by Eddie Mustafa Muhammad now and more than a few fights now.
I've been watching a few Dawson fights lately and noticed that he used to be trained by Dan Birmingham (Winky Wright's trainer). He was more aggressive in those fights, but it was controlled aggression fought a little like Winky, but better offensively, using his legs like young Winky and better head movement.
I want to know what happened in both trainer situations.

The resistance band suit Dawson is wearing is called Flex Nimbo. Looks stupid (if you ain't Chad Dawson) but very effective. There is also a cheaper alternative out there than the Flex Nimbo.
Speaking of Dawson, does anyone know if he's still with Mayweather Sr.?
Dawson looks so relaxed and comfortable in that ring. Pascal needs to bring his A-game if he wants to win.

dawson is faster than pascal with the resistance gear on hahahaha
lol!!! I still get a laugh when hearing that Jean Pascal models himself after Roy Jones jr.( the commentery from the Pascal/Froch fight mentioned it)! lol....even a 41 year old Roy has faster handspeed than a young Pascal!
same thing I was thinkin'.....BOTH dudes look to be in GREAT shape.....like the lil' get up Chad was rockin'.....does anyone know the name of that and if its able to be purchased?...let me know, that would be cool!! :cool2:
Dawson will make Pascal look slow like Diaconu if he wants to mimic Glen Johnson's style.The handspeed difference will be VERY noticeable-also,where is Pascal's jab and combos??? He prefers lead rights.He also keeps his hands down...he better use his "perfect" gameplan as he has hinted to defeat Dawson-who adapts.

Jean Pascal looks like he is training to fight Dawson up close like Glen Johnson did...should be a good fight.

It's over, Pascal.
He's coming to you house. He's coming.
This. Damn I wish I could fight like Dawson. When have we seen a right handed southpaw this damn good?
It's over, Pascal.
He's coming to you house. He's coming.
lol the fight hasnt even happend yet and its over??? Pascal may get beaten but he is a good fighter imo.
Jean Pascal looks like he is training to fight Dawson up close like Glen Johnson did...should be a good fight.
Exactly what I was going to bring up. That and he turned southpaw a few times.
Pascal's a tough dude, but you have to be Glen Johnson level tough and have good defense (Johnson is good at picking shots off) or have an excellent inside defense to pull that off against Dawson.
Pascal has neither and will have to abandon that strategy when he sees the type of combinations Chad is gonna pull out on his ass.
Pascal averages around 40 punches... what is he planning on doing to stall in the mean time? Holding will only get him so much time.
Chad doesn't just sit back and wait like Diaconu, he's always looking to open up. Chad averages 60+ punches per round while moving in between, he can probably add 10 to that if he cuts short some of the movement. Dawson has a shot at stopping Pascal late, if he sets a good pace from the beginning, but I expect a clear decision. Unless Pascal has some power to get Dawson's respect, it's going to be a steep climb up.
then pascal is done....he couldnt get inside of froch without eating a lot of shots on his way in :lol1:
pascal has a puncher's chance.....but dawson should beat his ass....just jab and step back when pascal crouches to get inside......
I wont be surprised if Pascal fights on the inside and makes Dawson work for his win.Pascal is good,but unless he has a lucky punch or the best plan A,B,C,etc,then he will lose.
Now saying all this,it should be a good competitive fight....
As for Pascal not getting on the inside,fighting Froch-that was a different fight.He fought Diaconu much different than he did with Froch,so at least he can change up his style when he needs to...still,I wonder about Pascal's surgery on his shoulder and his inactivity (though it seems like a while since that last Dawson fight with Johnson).
